In a recent development, President-elect Donald Trump has been ordered by Judge Juan Merchan to attend a sentencing hearing concerning falsified business records charges leveled against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Trump has vehemently criticized the order, labeling the prosecution as a politically motivated "witch hunt."
According to The Post Millennial, Trump expressed his disapproval of the proceedings on Truth Social, stating, "Every Legal Scholar and Pundit, including the highly respected, and sadly recently passed, David Rivkin, as well as Jonathan Turley, Elie Honig, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Gregg Jarrett, Elizabeth Price Foley, Katie and Andy Cherkasky, Paul Ingrassia, and many others, have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case, which is not only barred by the Statute of Limitations but, on the merits, should never have been brought."
Trump further argued that the case was an "illegitimate political attack" and dismissed it as a "Rigged Charade." He also criticized Judge Merchan, who he referred to as a "radical partisan," for ordering him to "appear for sentencing following conviction on January 10, 2025, at 9:30 in the morning, at the Courthouse located at 100 Centre Street in New York County."
The President-elect also accused Judge Merchan of disrespecting the Constitution by maintaining an "illegal gag order" on him, preventing him from exposing what he claims are the judge's and his family's "disqualifying and illegal conflicts." He stated, "Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his familys disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only Political Opponent in American History not allowed to defend myself - A despicable First Amendment Violation!"
Trump's criticism of Merchan also extends to the judge's daughter's firm, Authentic Campaigns, which previously worked with the Biden-Harris campaign, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
In his final remarks, Trump accused Judge Merchan of perpetuating the "Bragg Hoax" and called for an end to what he perceives as a politically motivated attack. He stated, "Merchan took the Bragg Hoax that, according to all Legal Scholars, should have been dead on arrival and, through his fraud and misconduct, gave it a semblance of life. This has to stop! It is time to end the Lawfare once and for all, so we can come together as one Nation and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" These comments reflect Trump's ongoing commitment to conservative values and his belief in limited government interference.
